Defense 0 Shift Burden On Fisch In Lindbergh Case
In Flemington New Jersey today the defense failed to produce witnesses as Justice Thomas W. Trenchard warned Mr Reilly about adjournment. Hauptmann's lawyers presented Benjamin Heier who testified Fisch jumped the cemetery wall during the ransom night. Heier, a writer and restaurant cashier, identified Fisch from photos and described lighting from a car, while being pressed about a letter. The state questioned Heier’s credibility noting a prior conviction and cabaret ties. The court limited attempts to link Fisch to other incidents and the defense pressed on potential attacks on Jassie Condon’s mental state through agent Seykora, with Maria Mueller testifying Hauptmann’s alibi at his birth party.
